In the ever-lasting efforts of reducing emissions, improving efficiencies, and enhancing safety for ground vehicles, importance of control systems has been growing rapidly due to the substantially elevated system complexities contributed by the fast technological advances in various relevant fields. Accompanied with the quick evolution of vehicle technologies, designs of vehicle estimation and control systems have become much more challenging and critical as well. This talk introduces a variety of vehicle system estimation and control research activities aiming to clean, efficient, and safe ground transportation. Innovative syntheses of estimation and control theories with physical understanding of engine, aftertreatment, and vehicle chassis systems will be emphasized through examples. Along with the system analytical designs, experimental and simulation results will be given to demonstrate the importance and efficacy of the control systems for current and future ground vehicles. Guest Speaker Junmin Wang, Director Vehicle Systems and Control Laboratory, Ohio State University.
